  Miiller 
  and 
  Troschel's 
  description 
  of 
  Cotylis 
  nuda 
  

   (1849, 
  pp. 
  17-18) 
  leaves 
  little 
  doubt 
  that 
  their 
  species 
  is 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  

   the 
  one 
  recognized 
  here 
  as 
  nigripinnis, 
  since 
  small 
  barbels 
  are 
  said 
  

   to 
  occur 
  around 
  the 
  mouth 
  and 
  the 
  coloration 
  is 
  brownish 
  with 
  streaks 
  

   of 
  dark 
  spots. 
  In 
  addition, 
  fin 
  rays 
  are 
  given 
  as 
  dorsal 
  12, 
  anal 
  7. 
  

  

  Wlien 
  the 
  form 
  along 
  the 
  Atlantic 
  coast 
  from 
  Chesapeake 
  Bay 
  to 
  

   the 
  east 
  coast 
  of 
  Florida 
  is 
  studied 
  in 
  the 
  minutest 
  detail, 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  

   recognized 
  as 
  distinct 
  from 
  nigripinnis, 
  but 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  thoroughly 
  

   investigated 
  the 
  variation 
  in 
  the 
  various 
  localities 
  from 
  Maryland 
  to 
  

   Brazil. 
  There 
  are 
  several 
  names 
  available 
  for 
  the 
  races 
  or 
  subspecies 
  

   that 
  may 
  be 
  recognized.
